As I Was Going To St Ives

St Ives In the sunshine

A sit down moment

A seat in the shade

Another view across the water

Another day in Cornwall while we wait for our narrowboat home to be sorted. It's going to be another few weeks so we'll be back in Newport for a while once our holiday ends. Meanwhile I've been reading the boaters's blogs and waiting to get back afloat.

We had a lovely sea food take out meal to share with battered king prawns, squid, cod, fish cakes and chips. While we were eating our food sat on a bench on the promenade the sea gulls stayed away from us probably because of Ben the dog. On the next bench a man opened the bag with his pastie and a gull swooped from behind him and took the whole pastie just as he was going to take a bite! Was he surprised but we all had a laugh about it.

About Me

I retired from primary teaching in 2006 and am now living afloat with my husband Eric on our narrowboat called 'Bendigedig'. The name means wonderful. After ten years afloat we are still enjoying life. For several years we wintered in Llangollen in north Wales and then spent seven months cruising mainly canals with occasional rivers. Two years ago things changed as we felt we needed a home, somewhere to leave the boat when we needed to be in Newport. We now have a residential mooring at Whixall Marina which is lovely and quiet away from noisy roads and trains. We will use it as a base to cruise from when we get itchy feet in the Summer months. If we don't want to cruise it's great to have a home. We needed a car so we aren't totally cut off from the world, which also makes visiting our family so much easier. Although Ben the dog has been less active since he had meningitis he still enjoys life with us on the boat and loves to be out and about sniffing new smells on much shorter walks.
